• My print spooler keeps stopping

  I have a toshiba e-studios 452 series, and we can not print. The print spooler stops. I started it again in the command prompt, only to have him leave again seconds later. I erased the computers and re-installed the operating system, but the problem is still there. I have 31 vista computers connected to a server, windows server 2003, and the printer is connected via the network.

  Hello

  Use this method to clear the spooler and then uninstall and reinstall your printer (check with the manufacturer for)
  the latest driver).

  Check Mr. Fixits here and if you use the other methods go back and try again later.

• Lexmark x 5470 print spooler keeps stopping

  Everything was fine until last week.  For some reason, I can print is no longer in Vista.  He kept coming up with an error message that the spooler of sprint has stopped running.  I would like to restart the spooler, but within seconds it would stop.  I found a few articles on this problem & tried many fixs.  None worked.  I tried uninstalling the Lexmark x 5470 printer and reload the driver.  After doing this, I tried to reload the driver from the Lexmark website, but when he tried to install the printer, he couldn't find / contact him.  I tried following the dirtections unplug & plug but nothing has helped.  I then looked at the print spooler, and again, it has been stopped.  Any ideas what's happening?

  HP has its own update that I think could be the cause.

  Difficulty is to follow the advice of James and then uninstall - reboot - and re - install your printer.
  Before you uninstall the printer double click on it and delete all pending tasks.

• HP Laserjet M1522 nf - cannot install the driver (print spooler is stopped)

  -installed driver using the installation disc, but when I tried to add the printer to the wireless network, all THE existing definitions of the printer disappeared and print spooler has stopped. I restart the spooler, but when I try to install the driver, the error message says "cannot install printer - Print Spooler App stopped. Please start the spooler or restart the computer. ") Operating system Vista).  I've upgraded to Windows 7, but the problem persists.

  So is the printer connected to the router or you are going through the router to a shared printer on another computer.

  Whatever it is, the printer driver must be executed in the process of printisolationhost rather than the spoolsv process if the spooler will not process that is corrupting the print driver.

  When you have Pro and Ultimate is easy.  If you have home made me know if gpedit.msc launches Group Policy Editor.

  For Pro and home run printmanagement.msc

  Drivers, find the 1522, right click, pilot of isolation, isolated

  Now, start the spooler service.  Since the driver does not work, you must remove it by using any HP software used to install the driver.  Normally in the programs, you can find the installation of HP and select uninstall.  Reset.  HP.com head, pick up the HP driver published last month and start again

• Windows 7 print spooler crashes

  Running Windows 7 Pro with all the latest updates...  Installed a HP 1600 with the latest HP drivers and local printing works very well.

  Set the printer to be shared on the network.

  Installed the latest drivers from HP on the other 3 machines with the latest operating system upgrades...  (1) Windows 7 Pro, (2) Windows 7 Starter, 3-Vista 32.

  Print jobs sent from any of the 3 other computers to the shared device deepen the impression that but crash.

  Jobs will not print until I have stop and restart the spooler service for printing on Windows 7 Pro machine to which the printer is physically attached.

  However, I have connected the printer directly to my router and all computers can print without problem.

  For me it nails down to be a problem with the Windows 7 print spooler or a parameter that it controls.

  So, is this the print spooler, or is it a setting at the origin of the problem?

  And, if it is a parameter, one that or those?

  On the Ports tab in the printer properties on the computer that is sharing the printer, uncheck enable bidirectional.  The HP language monitor needs access to a resource that has only the local administrator.  When you restart the spooler of jobs are planned in the context of the system rather than the context to users.

• Windows XP print spooler 1068 error code

  I have an error code 1068 print spooler.
  The fault has happened today 28/04/2012
  I've been using a Canon MP240 printer for 4 years.
  The print spooler is set to automatic.
  I followed the instructions and I have following error messages
  The dependency Service or group was able to start.
  This message appears in LexBceS & Fax
  I am using Microsoft Windows XP,
  Home Edition,
  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  As I wrote when you posted this question identical at the end of the outdated threads.

  I don't really know what "instructions" may be followed.  There are a lot of 'instructions' in the old thread.

  It is also important to give the full text of the error messages, rather than paraphrase as you did.

  All I know is that you have a Canon MP240 printer which does not work because the print spooler is not running.  And the reason for which the print spooler is not running is probably because you were at the same time a Lexmark printer (or a badge printer Lexmark Dell) and this printer has been poorly uninstalled.

  I don't know if your printer Canon already worked and if he did, what happened just before it stopped working.

  You might have noted that I asked several questions of the person who initially asked to return in November.  You have answered them yourself to save time.

  Please provide the full error message.

  Do you now or have you ever had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer installed?

  What happened just before the printer who stops working?

  And what version of Windows is installed, including service pack? [You said it; Thank you.]

  Also, I don't know if you have a fax modem that you want to use Windows XP fax services.  I ask this because when you paraphrased the error message you received, you mentioned 'Fax '.

  Normally, the fax service depends on the service print spooler, rather than the reverse.  If the print spooler service does not start, then the fax service also fails to start, so I expect that you might have seen two distinct error messages. .... But I'm just guessing.

  To save time - and with the caveat that this is based on guessing the answers that you have not yet provided - what follows will likely restore your printing capacity.  You WILL need to do the "special procedure for computers that have or had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer" before you start step A.

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

  AntiMailware MalwareBytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

  Cleaning of printers

  NOTE: If after completing step has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Use of the special procedure for printers Lexmark described below and follow in its first Article.  If still no joy, use the alternative method that is linked below.

  A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

  net stop spooler
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.

  A special procedure for computers that have or had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer.

  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)

  Type the following in the black command prompt window and press enter

  dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS
  output

  Note that there is no space before the =

  If you want to use a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer after having done the above, you will need to reinstall it.

  Hello

  Can you confirm if spoolsv.exe is located in C:\windows\system32... If this is not the case, try to recover the file "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386".  I assume that your say is installed in C:\windows.

  Let us know if it works...
